I have PS3 installed and running fine. My TV picks up the server in its media section and I am able to select the correct folder I want to get to. The problem is that when I click on the folder where all my videos are located, I get a loading on the TV but just keeps loading and never opens the Movie folder. It's been about 15 minutes of loading so far. Is the folder too big?

I'm new here I have a Visio 42" does it matter at all which version of smart tv we are using? What widget do I need to have on my tv? The only media player widget I have is the built in one, that never seems to find any servers. Only can see USB stick.

this has been a bug for a very long time, maybe the devs can take a look at the code for this see whats wrong. basically it doesnt ignore the transcodeextentions line if mediainfo=true which it should.

This was a 2011 black Friday deal and I purchased 2 of them. I knew nothing about serving content from a computer until the last few weeks so it wasn't a concern back then. I have been trying everything I can think of to get the TV to show the files under the media widget. PS3 media server shows a nice big green check and a picture of the TV under renderers, but the media widget never shows the files.

I contacted Vizio chat a while back and was told it IS DLNA compliant. It WILL play audio/video/pictures from a USB drive plugged into the port. Later, I contacted them again and explained that I was trying to stream local content to them and was told it was not possible. I thought DLNA compliant meant it would stream local content.

I have re installed PS3 media server as Admin and run it as admin. I have also downloaded the recently made "Vizio SmartTV" config file and it is the only config file in the renderers folder at present. I have this config forced under the general tab.

I decided to try to connect the laptop to the TV via a stand alone Linksys e1000 router. With a totally wired connection and all firewalls and virus protection turned off. The router and TV shows a good network connection but I never get the renderer found indication in PS3 media server.

I did this so I could verify nothing external could be interfering with the connection. So I am beginning to believe the Vizio M3D421SR is not as "smart" as it should/could be.

I think it's time to look at getting a PROVEN "wireless" external renderer that ps3 media server can see. One with an HDMI output to make this work.
